animal healthcare

Treating sick pets

Animal healthcare encompasses the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disease and injury in animals—from routine veterinary checkups to emergency surgery.

The term covers both companion animals like dogs and cats and livestock such as cattle and poultry.

The animal healthcare industry has expanded rapidly with rising pet ownership.

Related fields include animal welfare, nutrition, and pharmaceutical development for veterinary use.
